Storing lots of icons in an application

I have an app that I want to store lots of icons in so that I can associate
file types with this applications icon(s). How do I do this in builder???

Re:Storing lots of icons in an application


Pete:

Put the icons into a .Res file and include the resources with

#pragma resource "MyIcons.Res"

You can get at them with code like:

  Application->Icon->Handle = LoadIcon(HInstance, "ICON_2");

I didn't get any reponse from here but found out myself....
Use image editor to add the icons to an existing .res file and everything
works ok..

Sure you did. Ralph Friedman answered your question less than three hours
after you posted it.

Sorry, yes he did but didn't actually say how to add icons to a resource
file. I found out by hunting through the menus and by accident found image
editor. (Well I am new to BCB, although well sold on it!)

Pete:

All you had to do was ask for clarification.
